Julian, Here is a summary of what people were talking about. Before HOSEF was created, before Luau, there was MPLUG. Mid-Pacific Linux Users Group. MPLUG was started by Warren Togumi before he went on to bigger and better things. It was a bunch of Linux enthusiasts that would get together once a month can talk shop, learn from each other, and build cool stuff. It seems like everything the Linux community does is run by HOSEF. People want to have an autonomous LUAU back. HOSEF is geared toward bringing Linux to the OSS neophytes, LUAU is for newbies-gurus & everywhere in between, business owners, solution providers etc. Of course there is some cross over. There was also talk of having a annual conference as a fundraser to highlight OSS in the community - j/k You should come next build, you can ask the 'old-timers' - people over 30 about the good old days. -Matt
